Description

Stretching from Marseille to the town of Cassis, Les Calanques is one of France’s largest rock climbing areas. This 12-mile cliff band offers a true paradise for adventure lovers: over 3000 routes right above the vast French Mediterranean Sea. 

My plan is to get you to the best spots to learn basic rock climbing skills or improve them to become autonomous. The popular Calanque d’En Vau  is characterized by its walls of cliffs. Its climbing lines are bolted and easy to climb. Traversée Ramond, located in Castelviei, is a route without special technical difficulties, standing 100 m above sea level. Another option is the Arête de Marseille, a super-classic route of Les Calanques, first climbed in 1927.

Rock climbing on these limestone sea cliffs is unique. The white rock contrasts with the blue of the Mediterranean Sea and offers an amazing landscape. You will discover both beautiful climbing spots and gorgeous views.

So, if you are up for this climbing adventure in Les Calanques, please contact  me! I’ll be glad to guide you in this area that I know so well.

And if you are looking for a mountaineering tour in one of the most iconic peaks in France, check out my Climbing La Meije Orientale tour.

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Cami

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
